Re: Power brakes with manual transmission

Two main reasons for not going on the firewall. First firewall mounted boosters and master cylinders are just flat ugly clutter in and engine compartment . I didn't spend 400 bucks on finned aluminum to have the view blocked by ugliness. That and with the intake and 4 barrel on my 292 I have a clearance issue.,

Second is just as you saw in the photos it is a lot easier to hook up clutch linkage with the original pedals.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
